He Smiles

Although you can't tell from our blog, n is a very smiley baby. Tickling his tummy and tapping him on the nose always elicits a giggle. That's what I did to get this picture of him:



I can't remember where he got the beanie, but it is so cute! Too bad we're in the middle of summer.

Something to Look Forward To

Aren't the mascots for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics cute? I like "Sumi", myself. When D and I went to Vancouver/Whistler in 2005 they were already preparing for the games by working on the highway between Vancouver and Whistler. Back then it seemed like 2010 was so far away, and now it is just around the corner.

Independence Day

Last night we watched fireworks put on by the Irvine Police Association. D got free tickets, so we went with my parents. We sat in the bleachers of the Irvine High School football stadium, and the fireworks were set off very close to us. I was kind of concerned about how k and n would handle the noise. However, n slept through the whole thing and k fell asleep half way through! (We were covering their ears).





Getting out of the parking lot was a nightmare. You would think an event put on by the police would have better parking control. It was a good show, but the parking situation will probably keep us from returning any time soon. We got home past 10:30...D and I couldn't think of a time when we have stayed out so late while having kids (I'm serious, we are NOT night owls).

Update: Our offer on the Tustin Ranch home was accepted! Two other offers fell through, and we were third in line. The inspection is tomorrow, so hopefully everything goes well.

Goodbye June

Wow, June was a record-bad blogging month for us. I didn't even write about Father's Day or k's 2 1/2 birthday. I can't believe that the year is already half over!

Our buyer released contingencies, so apartment hunting we will go this weekend.


Father's Day 2009

Also, n flipped over on the bed tonight (back to stomach). We'll see if he can repeat this move, or if it was just a fluke.

We're Still Here

As you may have noticed, our blogging has become a lot less frequent. Lots of stuff to do, plus must watch our Tivo'd episodes of The Bachelorette and Top Chef Masters! (We were just cheering on Rick Bayless, who we saw at Frontera Grill in Chicago). One update is that we have put an offer on a house in Tustin Ranch, but we're still waiting to hear back. Part of the problem is that the sale of our place is still "contingent". We just need to be patient, I guess. We haven't started packing yet, and probably won't, until the contingencies are released. Not really looking forward to that part.

3 Months Old

Today is n's 3 month birthday. He weighs about 16 pounds. He still does not sleep well at night, but I love that he greets me with a smile every morning!


k took this picture of us! (He is wearing gloves because he has been scratching his scalp like crazy.)

House Hunting

The title of our last post was a little misleading, because we've been doing much more than just "hanging around" lately. This past week was my first week back to work (from home). PLUS, we are in escrow on our place! Yes, we have outgrown our 1,026 square foot condo. So now, we are on the hunt for another home. We have done a lot of research online, but we're going with a real estate agent tomorrow to take a look inside some of the possibilities.
